We felt that this excursion was going to be the highlight of our trip to Las Vegas and it didn’t disappoint. We were fortunate in that the tour went ahead with just two of us and it was an amazing day on the Colorado River. I am not an experienced kayaker with only four previous experiences but my partner was and she found it less challenging than I did. I was just happy to get to Willow Beach under my own steam. Believe the website when it says an amazing but challenging tour. Everything from first contact and support from the office to the drop off at our hotel was professional and efficient. We felt in good hands with our knowledgeable and personable guide Neil. We hope that he enjoyed the day as much as we did. Nothing can compare with the launch from below the Hoover Dam. The visits to the hot springs on our way to Willow Beach were a welcome and enjoyable break. Our lunch from the Southwest Diner in Boulder City was excellent. I highly recommend this tour and I’m glad we took it on.

This is an amazing trip! Guides are great and a lot of fun! Highly recommend! Do the all day trip, it's worth it! The hot springs are really nice to relax in and rest the muscles.

Omg what am experience. Our guide Issy was fantastic. It’s a something to do as a must trip. Best day so far

The surroundings were beautiful. The guide gave us lots of interesting information and all the staff were very nice. I especially enjoyed hiking up to the waterfalls and hotsprings.

Excellent day. Would highly recommend starting at base of hoo er dam. This section of the black canyon is the most beautiful in our opinion and is less traveled. Desert adventures was excellent to deal with every step of the wY. Our guide Holmes was knowledgeable and passionate about the river. Highly recommend if you want a day off strip and experience a bit of Nevada nature. It is however a long paddle and if you are a beginner you may struggle a bit.

This trip was absolutely amazing and it exceeded our expectations! Gabe took us to all the nice spots and he shared so much information during the trip. He really made the difference for us. For people who want a bit more than the average Emerald Cave trip, this is a perfect next step (Emarald Cave is included too btw). Thank you for having us!

Highly recommend the trip from Hoover dam to willow beach! Did a double kayak with my 78 year old mom. Clear, emerald, beautiful water! Tour guide Antonio was genuine and thoughtful and enthusiastic. The whole team from pick up spot at hotel to customer service on the phone was fabulous. Highly recommend! Was highlight of my trip too and I don’t think I could have had this experience with any other company. I saw the competition while there and these guys are the best :)

Antonio was an amazing guide. He is a wealth of knowledge on the geography, local history and area. Would love to go back and do another trip with him and the rest of the Desert Adventures team.

Venture tours were amazing- nice job EJ ! 12miles of spectacular scenery, couple of waterfall hikes for 70+family were challenging, but the hot springs and views were worth the effort ! Expert friendly knowledge about the area made the trip one we will never forget!

My husband and I enjoyed the most amazing full-day kayak with Gabe last week and we haven't stopped talking about it! The scenery was incredible - big canyons walls, clear green water, natural hot springs and Bighorn sightings. Gabe was professional, respectful, patient, caring and extremely knowledgeable. He made our day extra special. We hope to come back and complete a 3-day tour in the future! We highly recommend this tour!
